Usefulness of the disease activity scores for polymyalgia rheumatica for predicting glucocorticoid dose changes: A study of 243 scenarios

Abstract

Despite inter-individual variations in VASph, PMR-AS was a good indicator of disease activity. However, MST, dMST, dVASph, dPMR-AS, and dCRP performed better than PMR-AS. These variables may be useful in tailoring the glucocorticoid dose to the individual needs of each patient.
